A view of Olympia from the Westside shows the tidy Konrad Schneider farmhouse in the foreground. In the distance, Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens loom over Budd Inlet, the Fourth Avenue Bridge and downtown Olympia. The mountains are misplaced northwards. Artist Edward Lange was known for his minute attention to detail, sometimes offset by artistic embellishments.
